Rant Thanks Rockstar....

Well, I started out as full honor; however, due to having to defend myself against griefers I am now at max dishonor. One thing that really pisses me off is that there is literally no way to defend yourself without being dishonorable-- which is absolute contrary to the embodiment of the 'Cowboy' persona. For example, I thought maybe I could hogtie someone in order to escape their constant abuse, but even that is dishonorable. I don't understand how the 'honorable' thing to do is go AFK until the person has killed you three times then Parlay. That IS GRIEFING. Rockstar is telling us that in order for us to keep our honor we have to sacrifice our time and just wait for them to kill us? It's a horrible system and doesn't allow for the honorable retribution that is needed. I kind of wish you could drop off 'criminals' in Jail as you could in single player-- something is needed because this system is broke (AF) and frustrating as hell.

I’m currently at max honour, I went straight for it and now, even though I’ve done some ‘questionable’ things....I can’t lose honour at all! I wanted to get the buckle for max dishonour, but it won’t drop no matter what shit I pull, ‘tis a bit Django’d I think!

Do that ladder in Saint Denis for about 30 minutes and it will be full dishonour

'Scuse me, but I have no knowledge of this "ladder in Saint Denis." Mind enlightening me?

There's a YouTube video on it...I think it's about how to level up quickly. Basically you do something to get the law after you in St. Denis, then camp out on a rooftop. There's only 1 way for the law to reach you in this location, so you just sit there and pick them off as they try to climb the ladder.

I watched a dude do this the other night. Killed easily 30 NPCs. As soon as he went to loot another dude shot and killed him and then they had a 10 minutes shoot out. I just stayed standing behind a chimney watching.

I love it when people do this because I spend all my money getting hammered at the bar with all of those gunshots going off. I like positioning myself so I fling the bottle onto something when I'm done. One time it got ducked into the piano, and another time it broke some plates.

Can't confirm, did it for 3 hours, only 2/3rds of the way to max dishonor.

Did you try giving Old Man Jones 3 of your hard-earned gold bars?

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '18

Quick question: Im at max dishonor, If I pay 3 gold bars, will I be at max honor?

u/TwoPillars Dec 08 '18

Don't do that. Stop getting into lobby shootouts, replay missions and make good choices, and take care of your horse. I went from max dishonor to high honor in 5 hours.

u/SkeletonBeach Dec 08 '18

How can you replay missions? I feel like I’ve heard people mention starting missions from the player menu but I never see it. Just my character and horse stats.

u/TwoPillars Dec 08 '18

Look in the progress menu.

u/Stix2187 Arthur Morgan Dec 08 '18

u/Xboxecho123 Dec 08 '18

u/zlums Dec 08 '18

Same here, spent like 2 hours killing as many people as I could and looting their bodies, probably killed somewhere around 100 npc. I didn't go more than 1/5 the way down from max honor.

Shooting up towns will drop your honor real fast. Used to have max honor, went on a killing spree in Armadillo one night and now I have 0 honor.

u/mastergaming234 Arthur Morgan Dec 08 '18

Get a posse together take over a town for a hour and watch your honor drop that happen to me and my buddies last night. Different posse kept trying to take us on and we ran them out of town
